Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 2–3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 2 cups heavy cream or half-and-half

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)

  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • Extra cheese or breadcrumbs for topping (optional)

  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a saucepan, melt butter. Sauté garlic until fragrant. Add cream, salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg. Simmer 3–4 mins.
